Abstract
A communication resource is subdivided as a function of time into a plurality of time slots (210), which may then be further subdivided on a non-periodic basis into a number of sub-slots (220). In a slot or sub-slot, communication units (101) may utilize the communication resource according to a specific set of access methods defined for that slot or sub-slot. In one embodiment the time slots are subdivided on a non-periodic basis into a least two random access sub-slots, during which communication units may either request one or more reserved time slots, or send unreserved data packets (240). In response to requests for reserved time slots from a requesting communication unit, one or more reserved time slots are provided for the use of the requesting communication unit.
